Foundation programs for recreational gymnastics

Gymnastics for All is a sport for everybody, regardless of age, gender or ability and forms the basis for all programs in recreational gymnastics. Gymnastics for All includes LaunchPad and club-specific programs for people of all ages, which focuses on learning and improving fundamental movement as a basis for all sports.

LaunchPad features three specific programs for gymnastics clubs: KinderGym, GymFun and GymSkills. If you are an athlete from another sport, an older adult or someone with Disability, then your local gymnastics club may also run specific classes to help you get fit and strengthen your body by learning fun gymnastics skills.
